Songs Title:the laughing gnome
大笑的地精
我沿著大街走著
I was walking down the high street
聽到身後一溜腳步聲
When I heard footsteps behind me
那有個小老頭(哈囉)
And there was a little old man (hello)
穿著紅紅灰灰的衣裳,跑來跑去(大笑)
In scarlet and grey, shuffling away (laughter)
他一路跑到我家
坐在電視機旁邊(吼~)
Well he trotted back to my house
他的小手放在肚子上
And he sat beside the telly (oaah..)
到處扔東西,從早笑到晚(大笑)
With his tiny hands on his tummy
哦,我要把你上報給地精治安局
(地精治安局)
Chuckling away, laughing all day (laughter)
是的
Oh, I ought to report you to the gnome office
(哈哈哈哈哈)
(gnome office)
哈哈哈,嘿嘿嘿
Yes
我是一隻大笑的地精,瞧你逮不到我
(hahahahaha)
哈哈哈,嘿嘿嘿
Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
我是一隻大笑的地精,瞧你逮不到我
Im a laughing gnome and you dont catch me
地精大笑著說
Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
我給他烤蘑菇
Im a laughing gnome and you cant catch me
還有一杯蒲公英酒(嗝~抱歉)
Said the laughing gnome
然後我把他扔到了開往伊斯特本的火車上
Well I gave him roasted toadstools
順帶還有他的包,給了他一根煙
and a glass of dandelion wine (burp, pardon)
(哥們,借個火)
Then I put him on a train to eastbourne
拿著,你打哪來?
Carried his bag and gave him a fag
(地精屯兒,哈嘿嘿嘿)
(havent you got a light boy? )
哦,真的?
Here, where do you come from?
早上我一覺醒來
(gnome-mans land, hahihihi)
他就坐在我的床沿
Oh, really?
還有他那個叫Fred的兄弟
他一路把他帶來給我唱首歌
In the morning when I woke up
好吧,讓我們聽聽看
He was sitting on the edge of my bed
嘿,那個咔噠聲是什麼?
With his brother whose name was fred
(那是Fred,他是個地精節拍器,哈哈)
Hed bought him along to sing me a song
